Re: Game Thread v Adelaide !!
Pretty poor kicking that quarter. The worst I've seen on that front for a long time. Hard to win games when you're just kicking it to completely free opposition players and can't buy a centre clearance. I'd like to say we could peg it back a bit, but I actually think we'll tire a little and this will be a very disappointing loss.

Re: Game Thread v Adelaide !!
The umps have been terrible for both sides but they're hearing the crowd as usual. AAMI is typically a 3 goal better deal for the home team. Just typical!
When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

Re: Game Thread v Adelaide !!
The whole team has let themselves down and taken a massive step backwards. Undone all of the progress they've made over the past 3 games. I can't pick one player that has come even close playing well.

This sums it up.Pwoit wrote:Disposal is rubbish turnover after turnover
Very dissapointing to be 9pts in it....in 3 mins.....29pts....
Just lack polish coming forwards.
Crows play the short lead up chip kick into fwd 50 well. We bomb hope for a miracle mark that aint coming. Why would you play like that when they have big gorilla defenders?
Midfielders need a rocket - very ordinary pressure between arcs.

Re: Game Thread v Adelaide !!
To think Jack had a kick to get us within a few points about 7 minutes ago. Our kicking at goal has been deplorable.

If it wasn't for our backline we would be down about 70 points.
Disposal in this game is some of the worst for the year, just handing them the ball.

Hope Im wrong mate but he's been in the system before we drafted him and so far he hasn't shown much.
Re: Game Thread v Adelaide !!
We needed to run forward more and attack the goals, when we have the ball we slow the bloody game down and then turn it over. Sick of the turnovers but sick of the fact that we don't attack the game more. Very frustrating.

Re: Game Thread v Adelaide !!
Crows appear to have some structure moving forward - we look disorganised.
Honestly, if you cant hit targets in modern footy you are stuffed. We cant.
Kill to have a strategy going forward - Dean??? Scott?? not to mention a player who can execute basic footskills
Is Dal Santo playing........

He's only recently turned 22 and was late to football. I think he's shown a solid amount. Was good last week.saintkid wrote:Uncle Barrels wrote:Jesus Christ!

Re: Game Thread v Adelaide !!
He has played about 10 games, most for the gc suns whichwould be hard, he is about 20 years old and a ruck man who take longer to mature, just look at mcevoy, and in a side playing poorly, so you should really ease upsaintkid wrote:Uncle Barrels wrote:Jesus Christ!

I agree, and I'm not saying we'd be in front (or even close) but the umpiring has been ordinary.Cairnsman wrote:There is absolutely now way the umps have had any impact on how bad we have played.

The only thing keeping us in the game is Adelaide's crap kicking!
